Rustworld’s legendary heroes are back - thanks to Billy Scruggs.

There’s one problem though: They’re really the Rust Repertory Company. No one is quite sure who should be the one to break the news to Billy.

These Rusties can’t follow the simplest instructions, and are totally unarmed. Still, Billy needs help to break into Gristocorp, and they’re all he’s got.

Herbert is pleased to be of assistance, though he worries that, as a pacifist, he may not be much use in a fight. He’ll do what Billy wants - they’re all going to die anyway. He can’t see the point in fighting Gristweed when they're never going to win. “What’s my motivation?” This question, plus Vera’s ‘stage-fright,' should have told Billy Vera's not really a fearless freedom-fighter. Jack has come armed - with a note from his Mom. A sore finger, flat-feet, an ingrowing rivet. Any excuse to stay at home, out of harm’s way.
